HARTFORD, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
The Travelers
Institute, the public policy division of The Travelers Companies,
Inc. (NYSE: TRV),
today announced its series of 2018 educational forums focusing on
reducing distracted driving, preparing for and managing cyber risks, and
examining small business challenges and opportunities. The events are
free and open to the public.
“Our 2018 educational series will focus on issues that resonate with
families, entrepreneurs and business leaders,” said Joan Woodward,
President of the Travelers Institute and Executive Vice President of
Public Policy at Travelers. “In collaboration with leading organizations
and universities as well as top public and private sector leaders, we
look forward to elevating the dialogue on these important topics and
pervasive societal issues.”
The specific educational forums are:
- Every Second Matters℠, which brings attention to
the distracted-driving crisis that is contributing to the rise in
traffic fatalities in the United States. The events will feature
innovative tools, such as TrueMotion’s Mojo
app, to help prevent distractions and encourage drivers, passengers
and pedestrians to speak up when they see drivers losing focus.
- Cyber: Prepare, Prevent, Mitigate, Restore℠, a
series that provides guidance for small and midsized organizations to
help them prepare for and respond to data breaches and other cyber
incidents.
- Small Business – Big Opportunity®, which examines
challenges facing small and midsized organizations, such as access to
capital, business continuity planning and cyber risks, and shares
information to help businesses overcome obstacles that can
significantly impact operations.
The Travelers Institute will also host its annual Kicking Off Hurricane
Preparedness Season symposium at the start of the 2018 Atlantic
